Humility
"Humility is to act with modesty, without self-admiration. It is one of the cornerstones of good morals in Islam."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
Humility means not seeing oneself above others by exhibiting a stance against the greatness of the self. In Islam, humility is not only a virtue but also a characteristic that is important for the balance of society. The importance of humility is frequently emphasized in the Quran and Hadith. For example, the Quran states, 'Walk upon the earth with humility.' From a Sufi perspective, humility is one of the ways to approach Allah by being aware of one's own state; through this, a person disciplines their self and exhibits a closer servitude to Allah.
Example / Wisdom Quote
